Naming Convention Help

I like your middle 2 numbers and will have to steal that since it will force order them by CP

*g34(R&S)84

Would for me be Grass Pokemon (I know whats its SE into so I dont need+ or -) 1340-1349

R for Razor
S for Solar Beam
84 for HPs.

I find it important for quick healing to know hps so that after I hit Revive that pokemon needs 42 hps so use 1 Super. Or needs 53, use 3 potions.

• puts all my prestigers first

Though I usually just go through my list and favorite the 6 I want to use, then use favorites after that.
Which is why I sort by type first then CP second

I'm trying this now for my attackers.
the following mon is a water type with Water Gun and Hydro Pump

Wa WG/HP

since for my attackers I really don't care about IVs or their actual name. If I sort alphabetically then all my water mons are grouped together.

--
for my defenders I use their max cp at level 40 along with their moveset.
so a snorlax would be
S 3305 ZH/BS

I have yet to be happy with any naming that I've come up with, but so far this has stayed for a while.

I like the idea of adding HP, to help with potion optimization. I have yet to do that, but am thinking about it.

The first character is the most important to sort efficiently. I use characters between ! and ~ for this, each one corresponding to a category to group by. Categories depend on your preference. I want a few bubblestrat mons first, then my best general use prestigers, then prestigers broken out by attack type. These are most important to have at the top since there is no other easy way to sort them to the top. Also very useful is tagging mons to evolve so they are all in a row once you start your lucky egg. I use more prefixes than that, but these I consider most important.

! - bubblestrat
/ gen prestige
:W - water prestige
@ - to evolve

I think you can remove the 3 characters for original name. You can get a similar sort/grouping by #, so you don't get better sorting functionality that way. You will know by the picture. Moveset is more important to me. I use lowercase for quick attack, uppercase for Charge Attack, and try to use 2-4 characters. Then, of course, 3 characters for each IV.

After that, there is a little space. Sometimes, I will give the moveset rank, but mostly I will just trust my own knowledge of the moves I've already encoded.

A few examples:

A wigglytuff with pound, HyperBeam, and IV spread 15,12,14 that I want to be tagged as a general prestiger (to sort very high alphabetically):

/pHB fbe

A low level vaporeon with water gun, Hydro Pump and IV spread 9/10/15 I would tag as a water prestiger (to sort with the other typed prestigers), and possibly throw on an A to remember what the moveset is ranked.

:W gHP 9af A

That's my system, hope you can get some ideas from it!

My method emphasizes the things I can't see or deduce without clicking on an individual, mainly for faster selection when prestiging.

1. Symbol for charge move type
2. Letter for CP Level (a for 25xx, b for 24xx ... y for 1xx, z for xx (and space for 26xx+))
3. Symbol for quick move type (if different from 1)

This way, A-Z sort gives me everyone with charge moves of a certain type together, roughly ordered by CP.

When I'm going to need any particular mon repeatedly, I put a ! in front of its name (and the same is done before a mass-evolve session).

I do this to everything I keep, which is usually overkill... but it's nice to have a well-ordered deep bench sometimes like last week when I joined a Level 9 gym with a 356CP Mantine at bottom followed by two 28xx Blisseys. I've used my high CP Oddishes and Bellsprouts with double grass moves on several occasions while they wait for future evolves.

Over time I've memorized the most relevant super-effective matchups and resistances, so those things (like the species names of the Pokemon) aren't part of my custom naming.

The rest of the space is filled with things I might want to see at a glance, or that I wouldn't want to have to look up again, like gender, IV, GP attack grade, and GP defense grade. Occasionally I throw some characters at the end to indicate other things of interest.
